ansible-role-ntp

Ansible role for setting up NTP time synchronization on Debian.

There are 3 packages for NTP in Debian: ntp, chrony and systemd-timesyncd. This role installs the package chrony which uninstalls ntp or systemd-timesyncd if any of them is already installed.

Then the file /etc/chrony/chrony.conf is edited to contain NTP server definitions specified in the variable ntp_servers.

Role Variables

• ntp_servers - fragment of /etc/chrony/chrony.conf, default is

server ntp.muni.cz iburst
server tik.cesnet.cz iburst
server tak.cesnet.cz iburst

• ntp_disable_default_pool
